Using social entrepreneurship to create food security, employment, foster education, and close the digital divide in Christon Bank, Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe Farm Project is a lean startup, small development project founded in 2015 to sow into the lives of others. However, it will take considerably more resources to transform the project into a major agricultural producer capable of mediating some of the food insecurity and also injecting capital into the local economy by hiring full-time employees, contractors, and day laborers to complete the various required tasks necessary to bring the project to fruition. As the scope of the project has expanded, so has the mission to provide sustained support for the families living in this community through stable employment, food security from farm produce, sanitation and hygiene, and a clean water initiative. As a social entrepreneur, I believe the Zimbabwe Farm Project can implement solutions for some of the challenges which beset this economically depressed community. At start up, a more hands-on approach was required with active involvement and oversight, which now gradually has evolved to incorporate more community participation in this rewarding and beneficial project of mutual giving. The local community involved in work on the project includes dedicated farmers and, more importantly, employed journeymen plumbers, electricians, and skilled tradesmen from various crafts—all committed to improving their lives. The Zimbabwe Farm Project was envisioned as a proof of concept to substantiate the viability of a non-traditional aid model. The objective is to strengthen its beneficiaries through partnerships versus dependencies. Ultimately, this path will lead to vibrant self-sufficiency, empowerment, self-determination, and freedom.
